Mclaren F1 in big accident

[Arnold The Bat]

It's currently on Twitter that a Mclaren F1 has been involved in a big accident on the A605 in Northants. Apparently Rowan Atkinson lives nearby so lots of speculation that it is his.

Just found this:

By the sound of it the car is wreaked so I hope whoever was driving is ok.

Hope he is ok, one of the all time tv greats.

Always thought he was the type to be a secret PH'er..

[Rawwr]

Balls to the car. I really hope he's ok.

[Egg Chaser]

Hopefully it's not too serious, and hopefully his car survives, too.

Should have done an IAM course...

It's not Rowan's, not George Harrison's, neither of the two GTR's on here so I don't know which one it is. (judging of the OP post in that first link)

Massive shame though, hopefully the driver and any passengers are perfectly fine regardless of the state of the car.

fk the car, i suspect if he's in hospital and it's a 1 car accident then it's going to be serious.
I hope he's ok.

I hope everyone is ok, shame to see one go

The font of all knowledge said:

Around the time of the accident, TV station Dave was showing a repeat of the comedy star’s appearance on Top Gear earlier this year, where Atkinson became the fastest celebrity driver.

Great, that's about as interesting as knowing i ate his favourite meal the other week

Hmm, will wait till tomorrow for a definate confirmation he is ok.

Shoulder injury could mean it is still in the car

After all those years eh? Must be looking for an insurance payout to get an Mp3-4/12subset2squared then...

I dont want to appear thick but George hasnt been with us for a couple of years ,so who would be driving it ?

Sounds like he's ok, thankfully. Also sounds like it's one less McLaren, though
